Guest guest Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Hi, anyone have any info on TB or links to websites with TB info. My 87 year old grandfather has been in the hosiptal for 3 weeks. First it was suspected strep pneumonia, so they had him on full spectrum antiboitics, they also suspected TB and had him in isolation for 3 days and did 3 sputum test, tests came back negative. Then last week they tell me he now has staph pneumonia, so they change meds, which they had just done couple of days ago, I have lost count how many intravenous meds they have had him on. Now they say one of the sputum samples have come back positive, they apparently culture samples for two weeks after intial negative results because there is 30% chance they miss they dont see TB with sputum tests. I get a call from the department of health today asking I go get tested. So now I just want to prepare myself with as much info as possible.
